Some other make interprets contents of comment? That doesn't seem right.
I believe that 'our' make behaviour is more right.
OTOH, I just checked SUSv3, and it specifies that comments start
with hash and continue until unescaped newline is reached.
So, we should do the same; send-pr standards PR, please.
